The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (short story)

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is a satirical short story about a man who ages in reverse, from senescence to infancy, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was first published in Collier's Magazine on May 27, 1922, with the cover and illustrations by James Montgomery Flagg. It was subsequently anthologized in Fitzgerald's 1922 book Tales of the Jazz Age, which is occasionally published as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Jazz Age Stories. The story was later adapted into the 13-time Oscar-nominated 2008 namesake film and the Olivier Award winning musical adaptation.
